CALL for ENTRIES: Boys will be Boys

Posted on August 22, 2018August 21, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

COOK for me

Why are there so few female chefs and so many female cooks? It turns out that professional cooking jobs are like so many other jobs –ruled by gender stereotypes. I lived most of my pre-adolescence without a residential female figure, and I was always taught it was my job to learn to cook. I cooked most of my familial meals from age 5, yes 5, to age 15. Imagine my surprise when I got to cooking school and found myself the only woman in my class. This next call explores masculinity. Do you have something to say? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Big Money

Posted on August 20, 2018August 21, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

FRUITY dollars

What food can you buy for one U.S. dollar? The answer is “it depends on where you are”. Where I live, one dollar will buy you nearly 2lbs of bananas, canned beans (even organic), dried beans, yogurt & one or pieces of a lot of tree fruits like apples, oranges or pears. Make your own healthy dollar menu. This next Call has another suggestion for how to use a one dollar bill. Challenge accepted.

just PEACH-y

I sent my husband to the farmers market for turnips & beets. He came home with honey & peaches. I suppose it isn’t like going to the grocery where there are a proscribed list of possible foods you will encounter. Instead, the farmers market offers an almost endless range of possibilities within your growth climate, lending itself to surprises, naturally. This next Call is hoping for those same possibilities. Send them a peach…

DINNER for one entire night

I’m a restaurant camper, and I apologize. I want the pace of dinner to drag on all night and this isn’t always the same pace at which the restaurant can afford to turn over table.

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate. More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system. Why don’t we have more edible packaging? I don’t know either. (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens. Ignorance is bliss.) This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality. I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…

Long before I dreamed of having a full time studio practice, I wanted to be a restaurant reviewer. I wanted someone to pay me to eat food and talk about. I got an English degree; I went to culinary school. I abandoned the idea of capturing one of those ridiculously small number of jobs. I still eat a lot of food, and I still talk about food more than most people. This next Call offers us the opportunity to have your work reviewed. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Below the Surface

Posted on May 21, 2018May 21, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

slow BURN

Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods. Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds. But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less. However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface. I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp. This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from 440 Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) for Below the Surface, a juried exhibition, Brooklyn, NY, July 5 – July 29, 2018. Most of create work that is layered either literally or metaphorically, so this curatorial theme might work for you…

We’re only 10 days into Spring, and I am already making Summer food plans. But just before Summer arrives, we have the glory of pick-your-own-strawberries season.

Posted on February 8, 2018February 8, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

sprouts of SPRING

Green onions are among the first shoots sent up in Spring. They taste like the more refined cousin of wild onions whose smell I associate with fresh-cut grass. The greens are only fresh for a few days, but the bulbs protect themselves by turning outer layers into a husk-like spring jacket. The green, slightly bitter bite they offer quiche is high on my list of favorite flavors. This next Call is also one of my favorites of Spring. Take a look…
